Apotheosis sound of the band Jimmy Miller, who in the mid-60s reconverted the beethelian copy into a single group, introducing the black sound across the Atlantic. Not surprisingly, for this reason, I found the very Ry Cooder and Al Kooper in the credits, putting the album in a worthy …

The most recent album put out by Lupe Fiasco is “The Cool”. I have to say, this is one of the best albums I have ever heard. Lupe Fiasco keeps up with the mainstream rappers, but has a style that is sophisticated but it also switches around and experiments …

Blah Blah Blah is second single from Kesha’s new album, animal. This song has some explicit lyrics. One is a slang reference for a male’s genital area. The song is basically about a guy, who won’t shut up and all Kesha wants to do is have sex. “Shut your …

DRESSED TO KILL

I like the way Reuben sings the song because it …

System of a Down is one of my most favorite bands. They’re a hard rock band and they usually dabble in heavy sounding music that more often than not has double or deep meaning behind the lyrics. In this review, I want to talk about their very first album, …

I didn’t realize that I had Barbra Streisand: I’ve Dreamed of You CD in my collection. I assume it’s a version of a CD single because there are only two songs on it. I’m not sure I realized they made two-song CDs.

Before the worldwide madness of EYE OF THE TIGER, Survivor were slowly making their way in the music scene and Premonition is their second album. Though 1981 is actually my birth year, my musical taste is actually quite large and i feel i know these albums just as well …

Two years ago last boxing day I purchased my Fender ‘Diamond Anniversary’ American Stratocaster guitar. I believe I have owned the guitar long enough now to say I know how it plays, and to be able to fairly review it.
The Stratocaster is a very versatile guitar, as it is …

Overview —“ Almost Honest, another music video and single released by Megadeth for their album Cryptic Writings is a song that seems to actually really remind me of Trust. I’ve read a bit on similarities between the two, but I have to say that I actually do agree and …
